Some maroon communities worked with colonial powers to quell slave rebellions. Tacky’s War of 1760, Apongo western revolt 1760-61. Maroon Captain Quashee lead attacks on the rebels, killing many of them. History is a lot more complicated than, bad and good. Maroon communities are interesting but not necessarily the liberating force people make them out to be. Missed out so much Jamaican history. Jamaican history is much older than even the US’s history. Jamaican history is older than even British history, as England was in a political bond with Jamaica even before the Act of Union. This was kind of a clichéd view of Jamaica; Maroons, Garvey, Patois, Rasta, Bob. The island is all these things, but also so much more.
Jamaican is the most popular Caribbean, the rest of us neednt be upset about it!. It is what is. Long to see my Jamaican friends again. Paula, Olga, Mitchy, .. i can't remember the rest name😢 ) my Jamaican trail blazer. Gar vey, peter tosh ,bunny wailer, miss Lou... peace and prosperity to Jamaica !
honestly from what I've exposed to as a girl growing up in America with Jamaican parents, I've always wanted to learn more about the history of my heritage and where my family comes from. So, this helps out a lot! :3
there's more to Jamaica than just Bob Marley and the music which ppl always talked about as if he's the reasion for Jamaica to be famous which i hate. Ppl always forget to mention the Takyi and maroons wars, the heroes like Samuel sharpe, Paul boggle, Takyi (tacky) nanny of the maroons etc, who was a powerful priestess (witch) who along with her brothers, tribes men and wu=men who fought against the British etc. Besides in the movie pirates of the Caribbean dead man's chest they portrayed one of our other female priestess although we only know of nanny of the maroons but, there were many more other powerful female priestess druing that time but, because nanny was the most famous high priestess and the conning way she fought in the guerrilla war, they only name her as the only female heroe. Also in the movie pirates of the Caribbean it shows how Jamaica was back then with the runway prisoners turn aka pirates lived worked and opperate on the island at that time. Not to mention the James bond movies etc, i could go on but, this comment would'b too long and too many to mention here lol. I hope this answered some of your question. by the way the other 6 heroes apart from Marcus Garvey don't count in my book cause they haven't done anything in my opinion to earn that title as Jamaica national heroes lol. serious facts, as mi late great mumma wud tell us great, gran and children dem, seh har line ah family neva cum off nuh banana boat🍌⛴ an dem neva cum from nuh 🐒and wi nufi buy nuh puss🐈 inna bag weh wi caan see. And when it cum to us carbanted beings aka (blacks) and our history, if it nuh cum from di elders ah yuh family especially if it wrote by ah white😈 tek everytin wit ah grain ah salt, an nuh everytin yuh read inna book yuh mus believe especially di ole bible weh tun ppl inna fool🤣 much power to you my fellow primordial 9heater beings ☮☥
I am of Jamaican and Guyanese heritage brother HomeTeam and I am happy you created this video about my people. We contributed alot to the history of the African diaspora and influenced slave revolts in America, also Marcus Garvey created the concept of pan Africanism peace.
Pan African didn't exist then and it doesn't exist now, Nigeria dosent care what Haiti is doing, Ethiopia doesn't care what Jamica is doing, Sudan doesn't care what Morroco is doing. Garvey also called himself the King Of Africa and never even went there
@@soda8736Pan-Africanism works on the grassroots level because unfortunately many of our so called leaders are Western bootlicking puppets. Whenever you get a PanAfrican leader rising up what happens to them? They get discredited, ousted &/or killed by colonizers directly or indirectly then get replaced.
Jamaicans are pretty dope Their reggae music is very spiritual Duane Stephenson August Town is my favourite "Though I never lived like he wanted; I was mindful of what he taught me " Viva Jamaica 🇯🇲❤
Have to pause it. Xamayca means land of wood and water and the people were Taino that spoke a language called Arawak. Fat Joe is of Taino heritage and there are quite a few in Jamaica still today with distinct looks oblivious because it was taught in history books they were extinct or intergrated within maroon societies. Get it?
Unfortunately, DR is irrelevant because they refused to join the woke, they still patronizing their slave masters. When DR comes awake they’ll treat Haitians with human dignity. Esteeming skin color is white mans deception and tool of satan to fill hell. In fact, racism is pride and we know why satan was thrown out so pride is the only thing that block people from heaven. Let’s all embrace our African heritage whether light skin or dark skin.
@@sawkonenfrem no they are not, Haiti and Dominican Republic is on the same island but split with different culture etc. the slave ship went to the island of Hispaniola. Same people that came from west Africa with different culture etc.
That's true. At the time the colonial influence was very strong. I think that as we moved for independence and the experience most of us had in England, the Winrush generation, we began to understand and appreciate him. Often the case that people with a revolutionary message aren't understood in their own time.
@@Rizzo215 No its not. He's a national hero now. But the power comes on the individual level to liberate our mentalities. Every day you wake up is a new opportunity to do better.
@@TRUTHTEACHER2007 it is too late, the diaspora is lost all around the world. Our people are severely brainwash and institutionalized, we are weak as a people. The only thing that can help us now is divine intervention. We have no real wealth, the Europeans basically control the motherland and the diaspora is at war with each other. What you said looks good on paper but in reality it doesn't and will not happen.
Thanks for this been watching for a long time just spent as a result of slave trade i have 3 years in jamaica now in tamale northern ghana searching for my roots.. my mother is jamaican and father is from Ghana. I think my mother is fulani and not shure about my father but maybe fante. Can you do an episode on Guyana. Thanks bro.
If you don't have Jamaican blood. You have no right to speak about our people lies from colonizers books. Our are not speaking from old G truth life experiences. It was Genocide against the Cooper tone Indian people. A great sin. Cynthie the American Buddha
